I have had boats that I didn't need to power load on certain ramps, because I could get the bow eye to the bow roller without it. Every boat isn't the same, and neither is every ramp. Power loading is a perfectly acceptable method of trailering a boat, and if someone does it differently than you, there is probably a reason to it. They probably know their boat better than you do and the best methods to handle it.

In my mind, the issue isn't with the individuals power loading, but with the crappy facilities that we all pay for.
Don't hold your breath in getting those crappy facilities fixed anytime soon. Other than them trying to fill in the hole at the end of the concrete with gravel.

Maybe the beavers will block up the culvert and if it rains the water level will rise and this won't be such a problem.

I'm tempted to just drive over there and see how many boats are having trouble recovering onto their trailers. Cheap intertainment IMHO. It's always fun to watch the husband and wife team trying to launch the boat with the wife driving the truck/boat trailer for the first time. He's looking at the back of the boat trailer and telling her to go left which is her right. And She is looking at him from the top of the ramp and her right is his left. That's aways worth a good chuckle.

I guess even if the facilities are crappy we still have to use them or go elsewhere as they are not going to get it fixed right without more money from the State. If it were not for places like Bluegrass I'd have to fish the Ohio River or KY lake and drive 4 hours to get there.
